Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character
Chapter 62 The Female Supporting Character in a Historical Fiction
Ji Zhuxin also received the letter. When she saw the contents of the package, she was both happy and heartbroken. How much money must have been spent?
She replied to the letter in a rambling manner, telling Ji Chaoxi not to waste money buying her things, that the cost of living in Shanghai was high, and that she should keep the money for herself.
She also said that living in the village was inconvenient, so she has now rented a house in the county with two rooms, so she can go back to this house directly when she has time off.
Ji Zhuxin then brought up Qindu.
She hadn't seen Qin Du for a long time. After she moved out, the Qin family seemed to have moved out not long after. The house was empty and very quiet. She didn't know what Qin Du was doing now.
Finally, she told Ji Chaoxi to take good care of herself and not to worry about the family.
When Ji Zhuxin went to the post office to mail a letter, she kept bragging to others about her younger sister who was studying at a university in Shanghai.
"How thoughtful of her! She even bought me clothes all the way from Shanghai. I told her I just wanted something simple, but she insisted on buying them for me. What a sweet girl."
Ji Zhuxin filled out the form while smiling.
The staff laughed and said, "You're doing a good job raising your child. With a college graduate in your family, you can enjoy a life of leisure."
Ji Zhuxin quickly waved her hand: "Let's not talk about these things. As long as she takes care of herself, I can't hold her back."
She went to work that day wearing the wool coat that Ji Chaoxi had bought for her.
Before the morning was over, everyone in the factory knew that the jacket Ji Zhuxin was wearing had been sent back by her younger sister who was studying at university in Shanghai.
Students practice their spoken English in the park every day, and Ji Chaoxi goes there every day too.
Gao Lin felt that this couldn't go on, so she started practicing conversations with Ji Chaoxi. Ji Chaoxi stumbled at first, but after practicing for a while, she finally got better.
In the voice lab, Ji Chaoxi wore heavy black headphones, recording himself on the tape over and over again, listening back, recording again, and catching every pronunciation flaw.
Lin Fang felt a little uneasy as she watched Ji Chaoxi getting better and better.
Lin Fang is the only college student in her village and is always fawned over. She doesn't like to ask others for help, and she believes that her own methods are the most suitable for her.
But she was studying every day, yet Ji Chaoxi's progress was so much greater than hers.
"Ji Chaoxi, you practice every day but it doesn't seem like you've improved much," Lin Fang couldn't help but say.
"I feel that your pronunciation is not much different from when school started."
Ji Chaoxi looked at her, puzzled: "But I feel there's a big difference."
Lin Fang smiled and said, "That's just your opinion. Gao Lin and the others have been taught by their families since they were young. As for the two of us, let's just forget about it. No matter how hard we try, we can't catch up with them."
Ji Chaoxi was quite discouraged. She retorted, "Don't drag me into this if you can't catch up. I'll definitely catch up in the future."
She has made great progress, and she doesn't like listening to Lin Fang talk at all.
She will never speak to Lin Fang again; every time she speaks to her, she feels terrible.
Lin Fang choked up, wanting to say something more, but the next second Ji Chaoxi ran off with the book, not giving her a chance to speak at all.
That evening, Ji Chaoxi received the letter that Qin Du had sent her.
Qi Zhenzhen looked at the huge package and came over to take a look.
"It's wrapped up so tightly."
Ji Chaoxi spotted the letter and immediately placed it on the bed, afraid that Qi Zhenzhen would take it.
Qi Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow: "This is such a treasure! Who wrote you the letter?"
"elder brother."
Qi Zhenzhen looked at Ji Chaoxi with suspicion in her eyes: "Which brother? I've never heard you mention him before."
Upon seeing the tape recorder and cassette tapes in the package, Qi Zhenzhen was momentarily surprised: "It really is your brother! He cares so much about your studies."
"It's a Sanyo brand. Your brother must have made a special trip to find out." Gao Lin smiled and handed her the remittance slip on the ground. "Keep this safe."
Ji Chaoxi quickly put the remittance slip away.
Gao Lin observed Ji Chaoxi. Having known Ji Chaoxi for so long, she was becoming more and more curious about her identity.
She looked at her school application materials; it was from a very remote village. But the clothes she was wearing, the things she usually used, and the radio she was using were clearly not things that ordinary people could afford.
What exactly is the situation in her family?
Su Manzhen rushed in through the door, carrying a stack of photocopies of the New Concept English book, which had not yet been officially published in China.
"Ji Chaoxi, you can ask me for it if you want to see it. It's made by the British, so it's very authentic. My mom printed it for me."
But this book can only be read secretly in private.
Qi Zhenzhen was speechless: "Don't you guys have anything to talk about all day long except English?"
Is it enough to learn it to a certain extent? Why bother to become an expert?
She noticed that the people in the foreign trade group didn't have very good English skills; most of them were just put in there by their families.
It doesn't matter to others, but not to Ji Chaoxi, because no one from her family is at work.
Looking at the materials Su Manzhen had given her, Ji Chaoxi didn't know how to study them, so she could only resort to rote memorization, reading them one by one.
At first, she doubted herself, wondering if memorizing like this would really be useful. But after memorizing more than ten passages, she found that her English suddenly improved and her memorization speed also increased significantly.
Today was another oral English class, and Ji Chaoxi listened very attentively.
She used to be afraid of oral English classes, but now she likes them more and more.
"Then I'll call on a student to answer." The teacher stood on the podium, looking at the students below.
She met Ji Chaoxi's gaze and smiled at her: "Ji Chaoxi, come on, it's been a long time since I called you."
She had a deep impression of Ji Chaoxi; Ji Chaoxi was naturally a bit carefree, both in life and in class.
Last time, she pointed out Ji Chaoxi's pronunciation problem, and Ji Chaoxi's face suddenly turned red. She looked very embarrassed, which made her feel guilty.
However, such desensitization training is also necessary for English majors.
Ji Chaoxi stood up and answered the teacher's questions fluently. Only Gao Lin next to her knew how nervous she was; her hands were trembling.
Gao Lin gently patted her hand.
The teacher listened attentively to Ji Chaoxi's answer, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Had she really improved so quickly?
She then asked a few more questions at random, and Ji Chaoxi was able to answer them all fluently, clearly showing that she had put in a lot of effort in improving her pronunciation.
"Ji Chaoxi, you've really impressed me," the teacher said with a smile. "It hasn't been long, and you've improved so quickly."
Ji Chaoxi blushed a little from the praise, while Qi Zhenzhen kept laughing at her from the side.
"So, some students always come to me asking how to practice their spoken English. I've already told you the methods, so it all depends on your own effort. Look at Ji Chaoxi, she's doing very well."
Lin Fang, sitting in the back row, stared blankly at Ji Chaoxi.
How could this be? How could she improve so quickly?
It must be Gao Lin and Su Manzhen who are helping her. With the recording device and the practice of conversations, how could her English not improve?
Lin Fang suddenly felt it was unfair. They were all in the same dormitory, so why were the two of them only helping Ji Chaoxi?
